Why not buy a used one? Lots of these available unlike the OB1. I have a couple if you need one all from good running trucks.

OBD1 has 2 ports. OBD2 has 1 port.

That spindle seal looks torn and deformed on the left side. I wonder if it's folding in when you put the hub back on. It could just be the picture. Hard to tell.

More than likely caused by poor contacts. The entire EFI circuit doesn't really draw that much current (roughly 6.25 amps protected with a 15 amp fuse), but poor contacts will cause arcing at the terminals or poor crimps will cause a high...

Torn intake plenum?

What yellow section? What plug?

As far as Ironman goes, I've had their 4" springs and foamcell pro shocks on 2 different 80s. That was before they changed manufacturing locations and product lines. I have no experience with what's out there now. I'm happy with the ride, lift...

FYI, I daily at 28 to 30 psi on my 315 Toyo AT3s. If I'm loaded for a trip I'll go up to 33 or so. If im pulling my M416 with stuff I'll go to 35. Each tire is load rated for more than half the entire weight of the truck.

No one mentioned tires. Most 35" tires have an E load rating. Very stiff sidewall meant for heavy loads. Changing to a D or a C load rated tire will dramatically improve ride quality. If you stay with E, lower the tire pressure to keep your...

First thing to check is the belt tension and condition. The stuttering PS is something I've dealt with and it was the belt slipping under load. On the 3FE, the tensioner pulley for the PS pump decreases the wrap on the PS pulley as the tension of...

There is no time or temperature where the fan doesn't spin. There is always some fluid between the clutch halves.

I don't mean to badmouth the TLCA. They have done good things for many people. I'm just not interested in them anymore as far as event planning.

Any TLCA sanctioned event is obligated to give the TLCA a cut of the profits. I forgot what the percentage is. We just never paid them. THey came after us a few times, but I just ignored it or made up some excuse. This is beyond what they charge...

This only works for OBD1 (3FE and early 1FZ) and is only a quick diagnostic test, assuming the CEL is not on.

Do you get a CHECK ENGINE light when the key is in the ON position before cranking the starter? If no, then a quick diagnosis would be to unplug the AFM by lifting the spring clip on the connector and see if the CEL illuminates. If the CEL comes...

The TLCA has always wanted a cut of the proceeds and we have always refused. Before last years CMCC I was on the phone with a TLCA rep (can't remember who, but he was a dick) after getting the new price (x3) for the insurance rider. We had an...

Starter contacts welded together.

Have you tried glue?

I removed the complete assembly with brackets while they were attached to the radiator. I transferred the brackets to the new unit and installed with all new hardware/cushions/etc.

Both of those part numbers should fit. They are the same size with a different number of cores (IIRC) but are spec'd to fit. I have the 66040 in my 97 LX450 right now. It fit without issue. Reuse the existing brackets and replace the old hardware...

As shown below, if you're not seeing constant +12 on pin 1 of connector Bc1, then the 30 amp FL POWER fuse, 50 amp AM1 fuse, and fusible link AM1 are suspect.

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^ Once you have verified spark and fuel pressure, if the issue still persists, we can move on to electrical.

I would check spark and fuel pressure at the no start situation. Here's a post I did a decade ago that explains how to check fuel pressure. Truck now has 440K and this specific issue has not happened since then...

Thanks for chiming in. Who would have ever thought that the nut was more than finger tight?????? You sure are up on the aftermarket for steering boxes, even though you would never use one, and you never did answer the question that I had about...

You're going to want to mount the box before installing the pitman arm. Read the FSM. That nut on the bottom wants 130 ft/lbs. Good luck doing that on the bench. Just as an FYI, Redhead has a good reputation, whereas West Texas Offroad delivered...
